Ontario, Canada.

My hair has a lot of natural wave. If I don't keep it cut, it likes to do it's own thing.

Ah, sorry to hear about the sadness in Canada at the moment
Such a beautiful country. I have had the pleasure of going there 2 years ago.

It has been raining here too Chris but nothing major. Also our nights are getting cold here.

That sounded really nice, Vicki. I always prefer dinner/wine over a movie date, but of course that's just me and depends on my mood too.

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone!

Going to the cinema on the first date isn't ideal, not if you want to bond with that person on the first date.
Whereas if you go to dinner you can get to know that person More pleasant.

Are you doing anything for Halloween?

Chris

A movie isn't really conducive to getting to know somebody. Where did you visit?

for Hallowe'en I'll be home, handing out candy. I enjoy seeing the little kids in their costumes. Are you doing anything?

BlackSapphire

I visited Niagara Falls and Crystal Beach. Also took a trip to Toronto for a few days. I have a friend there so I visited her. Humble people there. The flight prices from Toronto to Vancouver are shocking!
Have you ever visited England?

Yeah, it's all about the children there's a really cute pumpkin costume in the store at the moment. It's so damn cute. Also R.I.P grave candles.
I am seeing my boyfriend on Friday night.

Halloween isn't really big here although there are parties and trick or treat (in some of the suburban villages). The fact that it falls on a Friday there will be a TON of parties for sure. I can't wait to see the costumes.

Chris

Hallowe'en just keeps getting bigger over here. A lot of people go all out decorating their yards with a spooky theme. Niagara Falls is beautiful, it's just so commercialized now. Toronto is a nice city to visit. I'm about 3 hours west of there, on the Lake Huron shoreline. And yes, airfare is expensive, especially on weekends. There are seat sales, and it's cheaper to fly mid-week.

Yes, and I'd like to go back. Did a bus trip when I was younger that included London, Cirencester, Bath, Stonehenge, Plymouth .... I forget. Last summer we did a cruise out of Dover, but it was a rainy day so we weren't motivated to explore the town.

Countess.

So I've decided to drop by. Excited for Halloween tomorrow, I cannot possibly tell you how much this year.

Chris

Do you plan to dress up?

L i N d $ @ y

Nadine, fancy seeing you here! Are you dressing up tonight?

It's Friday! I worry about the traffic later when I go home. Tomorrow we visit our grandfather and my dad at the ossuary, there will be a lot of people for sure. Sunday we celebrate our grandma's 93rd birthday.

Chris

I hope you have a safe drive Lindsay. 93?! Wow. to your grandmother.

It's supposed to snow tonight. I hope all the kiddies have warm costumes for Hallowe'en.

L i N d $ @ y

Snow there already? Wow.

She can't properly walk anymore, she's on a wheelchair but she can still stand up and walk around a bit. My other grandma lived up to 100 years old.

I had a busy morning today but should be a lazy afternoon/evening for me now. Happy Saturday everyone!

Chris

Yeah, every few years it snows for Halloween. Not enough to build up on the ground, just enough to make for a miserable night.

Hubby is working until 8pm, so decided he'd get a head start on changing the clocks from Daylight Savings Time .... so now I'm all confused as to what time it is.

BlackSapphire

Yes, Us Brits have been influenced by the Americans for Halloween
It seemed quite commercialised. Such a shame. It so nice to explore what you've always seen on tv when you were younger.
Do you like where you live?
Seat sales? Will have to check that out, thank you for the tip!
You chose a great part of England to travel around. You must visit Oxford if/when you can. Some of Harry Potter was filmed in and around Oxford. So they have a Harry Potter tour, if that's what you enjoy, of course Did you know about this, Lindsay?


Lindsay, 93 is a grand age! Hope she has a lovely birthday, will she be enjoying a day out somewhere nice?

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
